If I Was Any More Flexible

If I was any more flexible
I could bend over backwards
and touch the top of my head on the ground

If I was any more flexible
You could paint me green
and call me Gumby

If I was any more flexible
We could roll me up 
And bounce me

If I was any more flexible
I would ooze into your wallboards
And watch your every action

Flexible like Gumby! Love it! My brother had the accompanying “Pokie.” He threw it onto the roof, told mom, who said, “Go get it.” (She obviously was busy, didn’t hear him right) The next thing he hears is a knock at the door. My little brother was on the roof and several people were staring. Thankfully a one-story house :)
